A diving science and technology exercise held earlier this month some 2,580 miles away successfully demonstrated a concept born in Rhode Island about five years ago.

Proposals from more than 10 academic units were among the recipients of the 2023 Catalyst Seed Grants from Vertically Integrated Projects. The focus of the grants was the creation of new undergraduate research opportunities that are embedded in faculty- or staff-led projects.

A master’s program trains students to interpret and communicate genetic health information to help guide the treatment of patients and family members.

Travis Sawyer, PhD is one among twenty-five scholars selected from across the country for the second annual cohort. In 2021 NCI launched the program to, "facilitate the advancement of scientists from diverse backgrounds to become independent investigators."

A master’s program seeks to improve patient care by training genetic counselors to help people interpret and utilize genetic testing results.

Researchers at UArizona Health Sciences and the Eller College of Management are using data mining to improve medical communication and diagnoses.

It was the beginning of fall semester 2020, and Sydney Phan was logging into a new course at the University of Arizona Health Sciences. The goal of the course was to find ways of using artificial intelligence to improve patient-provider interactions. Once students received that directive, the rest was up to them.

Following startup efforts by Health Sciences Design (HSD) and other campus units, Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) recently established its own centralized program administration. Martha Bhattacharya, PhD, assistant professor of neuroscience at the University of Arizona, and Leah Callovini, MS, a doctoral student at the UArizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, will lead VIP as its faculty director and undergraduate research coordinator.
